Middle East and Africa Animal Feed Additives Market Restraints

Limited Access to Finance

Lack of finance may prevent investments in contemporary farming methods, such as animal feed additives. According to the World Bank's Enterprise Surveys, only approximately 17% of small and medium-sized businesses in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) area had access to a formal line of credit in 2019. The inability of livestock producers to expand their businesses and finance R&D impacts the companies that create and distribute feed additives. This restriction may prevent farmers from investing in feed additives, impede the expansion of livestock operations, and slow market expansion.
